In this study, we decorate the Cd0.05Mn0.05Zn0.90-ZIF-8 photocatalyst by partial exchange of Mn2+ and Cd2? with Zn2? metal ions within imidazole frameworks through facile in situ synthesis process at room temperature, which markedly enhances photocatalytic hydrogen generation (PHG). The morphologica...
